IRVING — As a coach, Jason Garrett dreads days like Tuesday, when he was forced to trim the Cowboys’ roster to 75 players to comply with the NFL limit set for this date.

“You’re talking about guys’ dreams since they were this high and trying to make a football team and putting it all out there each and every day and for whatever reason they come up short and they might have to find a new path,” he said.

The Cowboys also assigned center/guard Ryan Cook and defensive lineman Tyrone Crawford to the team’s injured reserve list. Cook had a back injury and Crawford tore his left Achilles tendon on the first day of training camp.

“It’s tough,” center Travis Frederick said about the cuts. “…It’s sad to see anybody go. But obviously anybody is susceptible to that. There is nobody really safe except for a few people.”
